Yes, sure, George, I was seriously guessing where your MTR was
until you found it on your scenario card's OB area.

George, your fire was 2 flat. Before that happened, I made your squad
fire upon my HS.
That was SFF. If it had been 4 flat fire, I haven't decided to undergo
your fire.
I thought that I was little bit advantageous after turn 1
Because you had only two good order squads available in your right.
And I wanted to make the advantage decisive.
In order to get a good advance fire position against your squad behind wall,
I just wanted to save only one MF. But the God said that I was greed.
You rolled . & : and I rolle ::: & ::: for my leader's 1MC.
Now I know that I had to detour my stack through SFF immune area.
